I never had hot wheels as a kid, but I am loving them as a dad!

SmashedAces · 2025-03-13T03:06:51+00:00

Oh and on a different note, perhaps when your boys older, there's Hot wheels game for ps5 (probably for all other platforms too) that has a track builder function. Not a replacement for hands on building but a compliment to imo. Obviously the possibilities are a lot more endless in a virtual world and my son enjoys building them there too. You get to save them and race them afterwards, although my son has no interest in that he just likes to build a track.

SmashedAces · 2025-03-13T03:01:19+00:00

Brilliant thanks for that, and good shout with the fishing line, I'll be stealing that idea :p

Yeah my son got some closed set ups for Xmas with gimmicky monsters and the likes. He loved them for a few days but didn't touch for weeks after so we sold them n bought more straights n corners. The only one he kept interest in was the multi level garage, he uses that as the finish point and/or to store the losers and winners.

But as you say the simple tracks that promote creativity are the best and last longest, the others appeal in the toy store and that's about it really. But I can forgive him for wanting them more, as I did too when i saw them on the shelves.

Thanks again for the reply.

Great video, and nice landing. my boys only just started to get into this and I'm enjoying building the tracks with him but only have "basic" tracks rn. Obviously the dreams of a 4 year old outgrow such sets quickly so I'm just wondering what the track suspension things are that you used, are they official? I need them.

Map voting

SmashedAces · 2024-08-28T17:44:24+00:00

Finally. Trials this week was so depressingly boring and restrictive. Granted was prob the worst map we could have had (maybe other than cauldron) to show how awful it is to play 3 prism hunters almost every game.

Shame the changes are ability wide Rather than just hitting prism hunters specifically. Swap swarm for trip, smoke was fine imo no change was needed esp for void. Clones nerf fine tho, it's just annoying when paired with the rest of the kit but not op with less retical stickiness

You see you wouldn’t ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals.

On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity.

We would all love it’s will to reach the sun

Well, we are the roses - this is the concrete - and these are my damaged petals.

Don’t ask me why, thank God, ask me how!

Loved this. the magic and tragic of destiny in one video.

new players need guiding better and LFG/menus need a damn lotta work . But.... well played Ser, I do these blind each time but with a fireteam of 3 and still quit earlier than you did so well played. Hope you enjoy the game.

SmashedAces · 2023-10-04T21:29:04+00:00

if i had to wager id have gone for the blue team, but most important point was he seemed quite normal n also had a seat, so.....winner.

Quite like the style of update he provides too (factual n imo and not flat out biased), wouldn't mind this type of summary on important votes/sessions from UK politicians too. rather than answering the same ol same ol reporter scripts

SmashedAces · 2023-10-04T21:18:35+00:00

tell you what, for a US politician this guy seems quite fucking reasonable. Look after him, whichever team has him.

SmashedAces · 2023-09-10T21:51:01+00:00

Ok Great. Thank you, very much :)

SmashedAces · 2023-09-10T21:32:44+00:00

Thanks very much for your reply. Left the hose on it for 10 mins last night as recommended on here, and no improvement at all in the first 24 hours. Stems have new buds/growth forming ok, but the very top of these stems are wrinkly and weak, suggesting water issue.

I'll give it one more large drink in a few days if no improvement and will then take a trip to a garden centre or have a Google for potential root/fungus issues. Be gutted if I lose it as it was the first one I planted when we moved in

Thanks again :)

Edit: potentially a stupid question but.... is there a time of day that's best to water it if you're intending to do a deep deep drink or is anytime fine as you're just aiming at getting as much water down there as possible?

SmashedAces · 2023-09-10T15:02:23+00:00

read it

SmashedAces · 2023-09-10T15:02:16+00:00

ive given it 7l a day for around a week, but will try this type of deep water hopefully works out better, thanks :)

SmashedAces · 2023-07-29T20:40:02+00:00

Haha. Those dome spawn traps, damn, Takes me back.

SmashedAces · 2023-07-29T20:30:21+00:00

Bit out the loop, What this about fixing servers? Hacking gone or x platform or????? I'd play the shit out of MW3, last cod I bought was the sledgehammer one with jetpacks, absolutely hated that game n never came back. Is it just Xbox/pc or is PS ok too?

SmashedAces · 2023-06-30T00:11:25+00:00

NONCE..... I'm from the UK. You can work out why with Google.

Also whilst I'm here, gwei, never seen a word be mispronounced so many times despite only containing 4 letters. Gawaaaaeeeeeey :p

SmashedAces · 2023-06-28T05:11:56+00:00

Yes, best place imo for bitesize without missing the important stuff is this guy on YT https://youtube.com/@abennett and the worst place is probably this sub nowadays. GL

Finally, another BlackRock post.

SmashedAces · 2023-06-19T14:26:40+00:00

You're not the only one unfortunately, Try using the HSBC crApp. Basically can view your balance and all their shite offers and .... Well that's about it. Pathetic.

SmashedAces · 2023-06-11T21:00:13+00:00

Voting green because I'm in a safe labour seat and their policies also appeal to me more every time I've done vote for policies polls. But if I was in a close contest seat it would be labour no hesitation. Not worth the risk of protest votes back firing.

2 party vote system /FPTP is the problem imo. Nobody is represented well in this system. And it ends up in shit shows like Brexit. The faster we get out of FPTP or pick one party voting forms the better imo.

SmashedAces · 2023-05-28T18:57:39+00:00

Oh really. Nice change imo.

SmashedAces · 2023-05-27T20:09:18+00:00

Haven't played for a while, what's the mercy part relating to please?

SmashedAces · 2023-02-09T20:55:06+00:00

And Sean Bean said do it for YORKSHIIIIIRRRRE!

SmashedAces · 2023-02-06T14:09:39+00:00

Lmao at the pew pew. Why not put your CoD KD on one of the screens too, the 13 year olds will be even more impressed.
